Abstract :
Introduction
Mesonephric adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix is a rare variant of primary endocervical adenocarcinoma and a few cases have been reported previously. In fact in non-metastatic adenocarcinoma of the cervix, less than 5% possess mesonephric type. Because of the low incidence of mesonephric adenocarcinoma, various methods have been proposed for treatment of mesonephric adenocarcinoma. Nevertheless, there is no unity in treatment approaches.
Case Presentation
Here, we present a 45-year woman who had bloody discharge for 6 months period. Hormonal profile such as thyroid stimulating hormon (TSH) and prolactin was normal and all imaging studies showed a cervical fibroma as a mass. Abdominal hysterectomy -bilateral salpingectomy was performed. After pathologic report as a mesonephric adenocarcinoma, she received radiation and then she was candidate for bilateral oophorectomy.
Conclusions
Because of the diversity and an unusual appearance of mesonephric adenocarcinoma with aproblematic case of cervical mass, it is very important to consider mesonephric adenocarcinoma as a type of diagnosis. Numerous differential diagnoses should be considered for management of this type of carcinoma. In order to make a diagnosis, deep biopsy of infiltrative mass of uterine cervix, is mandatory.
